Imperfection

I wrote this because I'm so tired of people saying, "He/She's so perfect!" "You're not perfect enough," "Perfection is what you want to look like," or things of that nature. I love being imperfect, because that's just how I am! Another side to it is the glamours life of a famous person. We tend to see people who are famous as 'picture perfect' when they're not. They're like us non-famous. Imperfect in all the right ways!

You always look like a masterpiece Like you stepped out of a fashion magazine Like you have no flaws Oh so divine (Just kidding!)

Life in glamour is never what it seems Those cameras can get quite annoying Nothing is secret in the life in glamour Your life is on display for the world to see Real love is like a distant memory Fake like Barbie Could you handle a life of picture-perfect imagery?

Imperfection is what we do best It makes us unique in different ways What is perfect, anyway? I say, "To hell with it," let's do our own thing

Life in glamour is never what it seems Those cameras can get quite annoying Nothing is secret in the life in glamour Your life is on display for the world to see Real love is like a distant memory Fake like Barbie Could you handle a life of picture-perfect imagery?

Perfection is a lie told by society A word to make the 'imperfect' seem small Forget perfection, strive for imperfection Because on Earth, defects are divine
